As most of you know, Sephora has 2 large sales a year: one around April and the biggest event is in November: the VIB Rouge Event. Sephora has three shopper-ranks based on how much you spend a year: Beauty Insider [$0-349/year], VIB [$350+ a year], and VIB ROUGE [$1,000+ a year]. Depending on your rank determines your discount amount during the sale. VIB and VIB ROUGE status members receive 20% off their entire purchase and Beauty Insiders receive 15% off.

Today I am sharing my VIB Rouge purchases! I will go into detail for each product and I hope it helps you narrow down your wishlist for the sale. VIB Rouge members' sale started on November 3rd because we got first access. However, no matter your rank, your sale is going on NOW (11/10-11/15) and you should have your promotion code emailed to you. For VIB ROUGE members, the code is 20FORROUGE! I hope you enjoy!
